Baby Shower

My Coworkers



Me and the wall of presents


Me, Mom and Heather

My amazing baby shower cake


I had my baby shower this weekend, I wasn't sure what to expect but it certainly went beyond any expectations I might have had. My friends at work and my sister and mom really went above and beyond with the amount of presents I got and the wonderful cake, food and games we had at the shower. I got a stroller, books, play mat, blankets, rattles, bath stuff and a ton of clothes. I am pretty sure Dexter is covered with all his clothes needs for the first 6months! Now all we need is Dexter to arrive! The nursery is close to being set up, just a few finishing touches of wall decorations. I will post some pictures of that later in the week. Thanks again to everyone who came to the shower and to those who couldn't make it but sent presents! I send a special thanks to Kathy for all of the wonderful gifts and time she spent knitting a beautiful sweater and blanket.
